• Notes

  GEORGE ALVIN WOOLNER The death took place at the Kitchener-Waterloo Hospital at 2:30 o'clock Wednesday a. m, of Mr. Geo. Alvin Woolner, second son of Solomon and Pauline Woolner of Kitchener. He suffered an affection of the kidneys, for which he underwent several operations, but finally succumbed to the disease. The late Mr. Woolner was born in a Kossuth, Waterloo Tp., on Dec. 10th, 1890, being in his 27th year. The family removed to Kitchener when he was about four years old and in his 18th year he united with the Trinity Methodist Church under the pastorate of Rev. S. E. Marshall. About four years ago he went to Prince Albert, Sask., but returned owing to ill-health. The deceased was a fine type of Canadian manhood, a great favorite and a patient, cheerful sufferer. The bereaved family have the sympathy of a wide circle of relatives and friends in their great loss. He is survived by his parents and two brothers in the war, John E. Woolner being "Some where in France," and Ephraim, at Militia Headquarters at Ottawa. It was a great grief to George that he was not able to go himself and take his place by their side. The funeral took place on Fri day, Aug. 10th, at 2 o'clock p.m. from the home. 145 Elgin street, and at 2.30 p.m. at the East End Mennonite church and was conducted by his pastor, Rev. Charles A. Sykes, B.D., assisted by Rev. W.K. Weber, pastor of the Mennonite church. The Chronicle Telegraph 16 Aug 1917, p. 4
